Default Tetley ate maple tree 'helicopter'

My husband said Tetley just threw up before I got home tonight, and that there was a maple tree helicopter in there. You know those little whirly things that spin as they fall from the tree? I did some searching on whether they were poisonous, and I couldn't find much. One site even suggested roasting them and using them in a salad so I'm guessing they're not too toxic...but the list of poisons on this site names the Red Maple. I don't know what kind of maple tree this came from, whether it was a red maple or not, but can I assume they mean the leaves are poisonous and not the seeds?

Tetley seems like he's doing okay - just sleeping and breathing normally, just looking like he feels sick and doesn't want to be bothered. His eyes are clear and his gums look a bit paler than usual but they're still pink.

Does anyone have any experience with their dog eating these things?
